I need to know if the Gen 1 S-AFC will work on a MAF 2001 Tiburon. It doesnt list our cars in the manual, and it says it works on MAP cars. It doesnt say anything about MAF or Hyundai.
Anyone out there installed one on a MAF Tiburon? I am talking about the black first gen S-AFC with the knobs. They have a second gen one out now with an LCD.

I don't know about the 1st gen ones... They may only be MAP-based. The 2nd gen ones are the pretty blue digital ones; they will plug into ANY OBD car (2 or 1) on the planet.

And in fact, they work on cars that are older than the OBD specification. Joel for a short while had one wired to his 1985 Starion.

 

My pal has a 1 gen on his 91 talon ( maf)
as far as hooking it up to a hyundai ??

 

Random would know for sure, I hope they work on the MAF, when you guys did a group buy, did you get the first gen or the 2nd gen blue ones?

 

MAF is a name given to several types of sensors, but most commonly: hotwire and karman.

Hotwire sensors are what OUR Tiburons and Elantras use -- a heated wire that is cooled by the passing air. That cooling effect is measured, and and from this information combined with the info coming from your air intake sensor, it can make an educated guess how much air is coming in.

Karman sensors work like a reed in a brass horn -- air passing through makes a filament vibrate. The faster it vibrates, the more air is passing by. That vibration is sent to the computer as a single tone rather than a constant voltage.

I can guarantee the 2nd gen AFC's (the ones with the fancy blue screen) will work; I have no clue on the 1st gen AFC's.

 

Do you know if the wiring is the same on them? Is there a particular setting for Hyundai Tiburon on the blue ones?

 

Random do you know anything on this?

 

For what I can say it will be a bitch setting one up for your application. The s-AFC only hooks up rpm and the air flow sensor. It's not as dynamic as the 2nd Gen. And behind, it has several tiny switches that you have to flick either up or down depending on the application. Where the hell you would find the setting for a Hyundai I don't know! You don't have this problem on the 2nd Gen, it's basically plug and play.

 

Yeah I figured it would be like that, I ordered the 2nd gen one, for the cost, its a much better deal.
Thanks for your help though,
